Webs Leader In Female Travel Announces Partnership With Temptress Adventure Cruises

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (May 1, 2000) - From young college students right up to the baby boomer generation women are traveling like never before. To celebrate the uniqueness of the female travel experience, Journeywoman.com, the leading online travel resource for women in cooperation with Temptress Adventure Cruises, the Central America-based leader in soft adventure cruising expeditions are sponsoring a travel writing contest designed especially for the female adventuress. The winning writer will receive a seven-night cruise on
Temptress and the winning entry will be posted at the Journeywoman.com website. Contest closes June 30th, 2000.

The grand prize includes eight days and seven nights aboard the 100-passenger M/V Temptress Explorer in one of the most naturally beautiful areas of the world: the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and Panama. The winner will explore remote sites few have visited, coming face-to-face with the protected wildlife and eco-diversity that exists in Central America. Each day she will choose from an array of activities ranging from challenging hikes through enchanting rainforests to serene bird watching tours to diving, sea kayaking, water skiing and swimming in crystal clear waters of the Pacific.

The winner will enjoy air-conditioned deluxe ocean view accommodations with private bath, transfers, all meals, beverages, wine and cocktails, morning hikes with on-board naturalist guides, shore excursions, entrance fee to
national parks, water sports, laundry service, port charges and taxes.

"We'd like this writing competition to accomplish two things," says Evelyn Hannon, editor of Journeywoman.com. "Not only should it encourage women to tell their terrific stories but hopefully these travel tales will inspire other women to go out and explore the great world out there."

To date, close to half a million women have visited the Journeywoman.com website which Newsweek Magazine dubs, "Mecca for women travelers."
